From Sept. 21 – Oct 4 Ambulante will show a documentary each night, in a different neighborhood in the greater Los Angeles area in an alternative venue and for free. Support this amazing project through their Kickstarter campaign.

For almost a decade, Ambulante, a nomadic documentary film festival, has inspired audiences across Mexico through the thought provoking, enlightening, and fascinating films they screen. Founded by Mexican superstars Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal as well as producer Pablo Cruz and Elena Forters.

Diego Luna

Their mission is to democratize documentary culture. Since 2005, the non profit has
annually organized an epic three-month tour across Mexico presenting
remarkable
international documentary cinema in areas with limited access to
film. Thanks to a grant from the
Ford Foundation, they plan to bring the project to the U.S. starting in California, most specifically in Los Angeles.

In order to bring Ambulante to California please back their KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN. There is only 30 days to make this outstanding event happen.

From Sept. 21 – Oct 4 Ambulante will show a documentary each night, in a different neighborhood in the greater Los Angeles area in an alternative venue and for free.

Ambulante California has already initiated their efforts with recent community screenings of the films "Cesar's Last Fast" by Richard Ray Perez on May 1st at MacArthur Park and "Illusion Nacional" by Olallo Rubio on June 11th at the Mexican Consulate of Los Angeles. Both events were marvelously received by the community and were made possible thanks to overwhelming support from varied sources.

To make the full length festival a reality much more needs to be done and everyone can help.
